Legend

this Sullustan was a highly respected cybernetic engineer in his home system. A promising career took a bad turn when Swoont ate some contaminated food and suffered slight damage to his brain. His work began to result in deviant behavior in droids, and a mining accident caused by one his droids resulted in his incarceration in a criminal asylum. The noted droid abolitionist Xalto Sneerzick recognized Swoont's ability with droids, and arranged to free Swoont from prison. Despite his insanity, Swoont became fiercely loyal to Sneerzick, and became an integral part of the Droid Abolitionist Movement. When Sneerzick decided to start raiding Cosmohaul Shipping, Swoont devotely followed him. They posed as a transport crew, and were given the task of transporting 100 R5 units to Sullust on the Argent Lady. Xalto's programming of the R5 droids caused them to rebel against even the abolitionists, and Sneerzick's entire team was shot and killed by the rebellious droids. Swoont perished along with them.
